It had been a week since Ginny and Hermione left to go to Hogwarts. Ginny was starting to get worried. Harry hadn't sent her a letter since she arrived at school. The worst part was that he was starting auror training today and he probably wouldn't be able to write often. Ginny sat at the breakfast table next to Hermione and across from Neville. He had also decided to repeat his seventh year. Also, Luna Lovegood was at Hogwarts too but she was at the Ravenclaw table. Screeches and hoots entered the Great Hall and mail started dropping. Ginny didn't dare look up. She was afraid that she'd get her hopes up for nothing. But before Ginny realized what happened, a rolled up piece of parchment dropped into her eggs. She quickly wiped off the food and opened it.


Dear Ginny,

Sorry I took so long to write to you. It's been quite chaotic here. First, Teddy stayed at my place for three days. He wouldn't even let me breathe. After I put him to bed, I had to clean all the splattered food off the walls. By the time I finished I was too tired to think straight. Who knew a baby could be so messy. I guess that's the Marauders in him. I haven't been to the Burrow since you left. I guess I should visit soon but, today I am starting auror training. Ron is more nervous than I am. He keeps saying that he doesn't have Hermione to cheat off of so he's going to fail. Don't tell Hermione I said that. I don't want them to have another thing to bicker about. How's school going without me? Can you at least say that it's better than last year?

Write back,

Harry James Potter


Ginny quickly got up and left to go to the common room. She couldn't believe that after all this time he sent her a letter that wasn't even half a piece of parchment long. But he was a boy; she couldn't have expected any less. She took out her quill and parchment and started to write back.


Dear Harry,

It's okay that you took way too long. You're forgiven. Harry, I can't believe that you didn't expect for a baby to make a mess. That's all babies do! At least you found that out now because you could use that in the future. Good luck on your first day of auror training. Well, I take that back, by the time you get this, the day will be over. So I hope you had a good start in auror training. Classes have been crazy. Romilda keeps annoying me with her questions about you and her opinions about us. I learned two years ago that I should just ignore her, but you'd think by now she'd get the message. Whenever I walk down the halls with Hermione people keep staring at us. Tell Ron I think he has some competition, but I don't think Hermione will do anything with the thick lunatics that are here. Oh and I guess you don't know much of the romances that are going on here. I think there is some sparks between a few of our classmates. I think that there is something going on between Neville and Hannah Abbot. They're always staring at each other and blushing when someone brings up the other person. Luna met a man that is, I think, about two years older than me. His name is Rolf Scamander. She met him while she was trying to get her father discharged. Anyway I'm probably boring you. Oh and I almost forgot. I'm Quidditch Captain. I feel bad taking it from my old Quidditch Captain from fifth year. (Quidditch was banned last year). But my old Captain was barmy. He always made us practice mad hours and he always yelled at me whenever I hit my brother with a Quaffle. Oh well I can do better than him.

Write back,

Ginny Molly Weasley.


It had been one of the most tiring days in Harry's life. He never had to work out that much before. But the Ministry of Magic wanted their aurors to be completely fit. Harry plopped down on his maroon sofa that Ginny picked out. It was so quiet when it was just him there. He liked it better when Ginny was there, talking to him, joking around with him, and making fun of Hermione and Ron's relationship. Harry got up and went to his refrigerator and got a glass of pumpkin juice. He had a lot of homework to do. But his attention got pulled to the small barn owl that was tapping on his window. It was Pig, Ginny's owl. Harry quickly went to the window and took the letter off the owl's leg. Harry read it, but things stood out when he did. The sentences, 'you could use that in your future' and 'my old captain was barmy.' He was completely sure she was talking about him. He laughed at her sarcasm about Romilda and was completely surprised about Neville and Hannah. After all the years that Harry went to Hogwarts, he never saw Hannah or Neville even talk to each other. Yet it did make sense that they'd like each other, because they were almost exactly alike. He decided to write back tomorrow, now it was time to go to sleep. He'd do the homework in the morning.


Ginny went to History of Magic with a smile plastered on her face. The first Hogsmeade weekend was going to be tomorrow. She never talked about with Harry but she knew that Hermione had spoken about it to Ron. Maybe Harry would come too. She sat next to Hermione and Neville and Hannah sat in front of them. Luna wasn't taking History of Magic this year. She said that she was going to be living her life to find new species. Ginny chuckled at the thought of Luna finding another god forsaken creature. Just something that she would tell everyone about and diagnose people with having the creature lodged up in their skull.

"What's got you all happy today?" Hermione asked smiling, "You've been smiling ever since Harry sent you that letter yesterday."

"Well, Hermione. Hogsmeade weekend is tomorrow and I have a feeling that one of us is going to be getting a surprise."

"Well, I think it's going to be you. Ron can't keep secrets like that so, if he was going to surprise me I'd hear it by now."

"You give my brother no credit, do you Hermione?" Ginny whispered with slight giggling between each word.

"It's not that I'm not giving him any credit. It's a mere observation of his personality. Anyway, surprising girlfriends is more up Harry's alleyway."

"Yeah, but for some reason I think he's going to be pretty busy with auror homework. I want to tell you something, but I promised I wouldn't tell you."

"Just tell me, I won't get mad at anything right now."

"Well let's just say, it's hard for my brother to get his homework done without the brains to slip him the answers."

"Oh, I couldn't expect anything different on his part. He's never done his homework by himself. I'm sure Harry is helping him, but that doesn't mean anything either. Harry could never do homework. He's too much of a procrastinator."

"Yeah, I've noticed that. But I am too so I can't say anything against him." Hermione laughed at Ginny's statement. Hermione tried to get Ginny to study with her but Ginny would always come up with some barmy excuse why not to. It was just like Harry. Ginny and Harry were perfect together, but when they get married (because that wasn't even a question in Hermione's mind) their kids will have some serious problems with getting their work done.

"Lady's are you listening to me? I asked you if you could tell me why Salazar Slytherin fled the school."

"Oh sorry, Professor. He left because Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, and Ravenclaw wanted the school to be integrated with half-bloods and muggle-borns. He wanted the school to be just pure-bloods. So he left on their disagreement." Hermione answered, a little disappointed with herself that she wasn't paying any attention.


Today was the day. Hermione and Ginny walked toward the three broomsticks trying to get out of the harsh winds. It was the first Hogsmeade weekend and both the girls were expecting their boyfriends to come. They sat down at a table furthest away from the door.

"So, have you finished the homework for Slughorn?" Ginny asked trying to start a conversation to pass the time waiting.

"No. I don't know about anything he's talking about. Potions have never been my strong suit. I plan to do something with my life furthest away from the subject." Hermione sipped her butter beer that the waitress just served her.

"Wow, the great Hermione doesn't like a subject at school. I'm shocked."

"Oh come of it, Ginny. What about you, did you finish the homework?"

"Oh, well, no. I didn't. It sort of makes me want to go to the room of requirement and find that bloody book Harry carried around during his sixth year. But of course, all of the hidden items were burned in that fire during the battle." Ginny sighed.

"Yeah, and to think that I was apart of that fire, it's unbelievable." After Hermione finished that statement a new redhead was sitting next to her, and something was covering Ginny's eyes.

"RON! YOU CAME!" Hermione squealing as she hugged her boyfriend. Now all eyes were on Ginny to see what Harry was going to do.

"Guess who?" Harry said still covering her eyes.

"Um, Zachary?"

"What? No!"

"Oh, um…Michael?"

"No…" You could tell the disappointment in Harry's voice. And Ginny started to laugh.

"Oh I know who it is….it's Dean isn't it?" Harry uncovered Ginny eyes and she turned around to see him. "Oh, it's Harry! I forgot about you!" Ginny said sarcastically.

"Really?" Harry had a sad expression on his face.

"Of course not, I'm only playing with you!" Ginny pulled him down and started to kiss him.

"Oi, you two! Get a room!" They pulled apart smiling. Harry took the seat that was next to Ginny and across from Ron.

"So how has school been going?" Harry asked the girls.

"Oh it's been going great! Well Ginny keeps getting me into trouble with pretty much all my teachers. But I talked to them and made sure they understood why Ginny kept talking to me during class."

"Hey! You only get into trouble when it's Herbology and History of Magic, two of the most boring classes ever to me invented. So, therefore I talk during them. I'm only human." Hermione rolled her eyes at Ginny.

"What about you two? How's auror training?" Hermione asked turning the attention towards the boys.

"Don't even talk about it." Harry said pinching the bridge of his nose. The girls were confused with Harry's statement. Probably because it wasn't addressed to them, but to Ron. Ron started to giggle then opened his mouth to speak.

"It is the best thing in the world! Well besides the whole work and training part!"

"I'm confused. If the work and training part of auror training sucks then why is it the best thing in the world?" Hermione asked.

"Mainly because the auror trainer is hilarious! You see, because Harry moved, and the reporters haven't figured out where his knew flat is. His fan girls send him his mail to the auror office. The trainer, Robinson, gives Harry a load of grief every time one lands on his desk. He usually reads them out loud to a group of people." Harry winced at Ron's story. Auror training was one of the most humiliating things Harry had to go through. "Oh come on, Harry. It's all good fun. You know that no one means anything personal on your part. They all are just laughing at the lunatic girls who are attracted to you!"

"Still, it's a bit annoying after awhile. And don't forget most of those 'lunatic girls' offer the most disturbing things you could know about. That's when reading them aloud is plain cruel." Harry said playing with his napkin that was on the table.

"What do the girls write about?" Ginny chipped in. She was completely agitated by these letters before, and now, with what Ron was saying, she was completely irritated.

"Oh, barmy things like, 'we can have an adult sleepover at my place.' Or 'that girlfriend of yours can't do better than me.' It's so funny!" Ron said tapping the desk. He was having a jolly time with the topic. Harry on the other hand was getting angrier and angrier by the minute. Ginny scowled at Ron then looked at Harry.

"We'll talk about this later." She said sternly before they continued with the rest of their day. But of course the day couldn't last forever. Harry and Ron walked the girls back to the castle and returned home for the night.


Dear Ginny,

It's been a week since we saw each other at Hogsmeade and I already miss you desperately. You seemed very irritated about the fan mail. Just to make sure you knew, none of those girls mean anything to me. You're the only fan girl who will ever be called mine. Hopefully classes are going well for you. Auror training is starting to lighten up for me. Even though it's been a week since we started. The whole fan mail thing started to get old and Robinson isn't reading them any more. He gives them to me and then I throw them away. But now the only thing that makes auror training less enjoyable is the long days and the less time to write to you. Again please forgive me for taking so long to write to you and probably even longer to respond. But hey things are starting to finally look up.

Please write back,

Harry James Potter.


Ginny was surprised that Harry caught on about her discomfort towards the letters. And even more surprised that the jokes about it was getting old. The next Hogsmeade weekend was going to be in two weeks and Ginny couldn't wait any longer. Soon Quidditch matches would start up and Harry could come to those. He might even bring Ron so Hermione wouldn't be so lonely. But for right now, all Ginny could do was write Harry back.


Dear Harry,

Thanks for picking up my problem with those stupid fan girls. You really did assure me that you love me in that letter. Now it's my turn to reassure you that you're my one and only hero. The whole name thing at Hogsmeade was just a joke. I knew it was going to be you, I just wanted to see what you're reaction would be if I played all those tricks. The next trip is in two weeks. I really would love it if you could come to it. Don't worry I'll be sure to remember it's you that's coming. Now that Hermione pointed out that I talk to her too much during Herbology and History of Magic, I decided to talk to her way more than I did before. Just to annoy her. I think that's probably the only thing I'm good at these days. But its fun for the time being.

Write back,

Ginny Molly Weasley.
